Ephraim was a Fisherman

Ephraim Doane
Born 1 Apr 1696 Provincetown, Barnstable, Massachusetts, British Colonial America
Occupation(s):  Fisherman 1732 in Truro, when in Middletown was listed as a Mariner and owner of one or more small vessels and joint owner with three other men in this venture.  Chartered their vessel, the Diamond, to Major Jabez Hamlin as a transport to carry Connecticut troops to Louisbourg. She sailed in November of that year and soon after arrived. She was detained in the service until Feb. 3, 1746, when she sailed from Louisbourg for New London, but foundered at sea on the home trip.
Married: Mary Atkins 5 March 1717 Truro, Barnstable, Massachusetts, British Colonial America
Children: Ephraim, Nehemiah, Betsy, Joshua, Mary, Elisha
1738 moved his family to Middletown
6 Jan 1739: He and wife admitted to the local church
Purchased land in Middletown 18 June 1739
May 1751: he presented a memorial to the Assembly of Connecticut, showing these facts and setting forth that his two sons were among those lost in the vessel; that the sons were his great dependence in his advanced years, and that by their loss, and loss of his vessel, he was brought under pitiable circumstances. Whereupon the Assembly passed a resolution granting him a gratuity of £150 old tenor bills    
Died after 1751 - it was his wife that died that year, not him.
Buried Probably in the McDonough Cemetery
Note: wife died 23 December 1751 and is buried in the McDonough Cemetery according to Connecticut headstone inscriptions

Massachusetts Marriages 1695-1910 Note: there are two dates given - the first in the original "Old English" script and a second date (31 January of 1719, which is nearly a year later) which was written after the fact. I trust the original script because when I looked at both, the January/1719 date was preceded by the same date. I think the clerk made a mistake.

George David Godfrey
Parents: Unknown - see note
Note: I have not found definite proof that Edward (who became a Governor of a province in Maine) is his father. An alternative I found on Ancestral File is Francis, however, I can't find anything to truly link them either. He didn't name any of his children after either of these men. You would think he would if his father were Governor.

Hannah Godfrey
Born 25 Apr 1669 Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, British Colonial America
Marriage: Joseph Cary 1687 Norwich, New London, Connecticut, British Colonial America
Children: Joseph, Jabez
Note:  I did not find proof of this marriage, other than it was listed on Family Search.  I personally believe there are TWO Hannah Godfrey's; this one, born in Massachusetts, and the other, born in Connecticut.  There is also a Hannah Godfrey that married Ephraim Hoyt (did find a source for that marriage), but married also in New Hampshire...a distance of over 116 walking miles in a day when travel wasn't that easy. So far, I'm not convinced Hannah was married at all. Anyone *with sources* know the truth?

Baptized 9 October 1709 Harwich, Barnstable, Massachusetts by Rev. Nathaniel Stone
Note:  apparently, there was a Nathaniel Nickerson that married Thankful YOUNG - and I think that is where things got confused.  Not to mention, in the clip of the book above, the author wrote "prob." meaning she probably married Nathaniel Nickerson about 1738.  That means the following children were not hers, either.  Children: Bangs, Mary, Thankful, Nathaniel, Jonathan, Elisha
